Pinhole Cameras

Beautiful both as a statement of craft and as a testament to the underlying simplicity of photography, these hand-crafted, lovingly-finished wooden boxes sing a captivating call to expand one's creative horizon.

Pinhole photographs allow you to visualize time and space in ways impossible with ordinary lenses. Demanding exposures between several seconds and several hours, pinhole photographs capture not the instant moment, but whole swathes of time, rendered in a single image. With a depth of field second to none, the pinhole maintains complete focus, from the lens plane to infinity. Every detail is perceived by this simple fundamental of photography – step away from the snapshot, breathe deeply, and relax while the Zero Image camera secures the entirety of your vision.

We're proud to offer two models of Zero Image camera at this time:
